Hot price and voted hot. However, the wireless on these was very very poor considering the price you pay, the microphone isn't all that great either. Despite these problems, they are comfortable and the surround sound does work when the wireless interference dies down.

But the Sharkoon set are a few pence shy of £100 and are wired. Also the Tritton's are about £130 and are also wired.

One of the biggest factors i'm looking for in my gaming is the fact that's it's as wireless as possible. Obviously sound quality is important, as well as build and comfort, but i'm having trouble justifying spending £90 (never mind trying to convince my wife that it's a bargain!).

For what it's worth, anyone undecided about this set or maybe the AX pro's might find my comments below of use. I'd previoulsy posted on an AVF thread on the subject. I was in two minds about these or the Tritton AX Pros but went for these, and the main reasons below:

I was struggling to decide on a set of headphones a couple of months ago. After much reading up and debating i was torn be between the AX pro Trittons and the TB X41.

In the end i opted for the X41 and am really pleased with my choice. My main concerns with the X41 were the batteries but also worry in case wireless signal wasn't great. I needen't have worried. I got some rechargeble batteries from Amazon so no problem (use 4 so always have 2 charged ready to swap if the ones run out, but they last a decent time, but with rechargebles there's no expense) and the wireless is amazing.

The sound quality is excellent, but i've read it is with the AX pros also, but the benefits of the X41 which swayed me are below and very relevent:

Wireless - was never a showstopper, but it is great to be able to move around if needed.

Although chat will only work with the 360 you can use them with any optical equipment. I have a 3 way optical switch with my 360, ps3 and HD DVD player linked into these.

Main factor - I have a surround set up at home also and the X41 base unit has Optical pass through meaning it is also linked to my home set up receiver, therefore all the above equipment can be used through the x41's or my surround with no messing about swapping cables. The AX Pros don't do this, meaning my 360 would have to be permanently linked to them and to use with my surround i'd need to disconnect, then get behind my receiver to connect every time i needed it.... was not really a practical option.

X41 powered by usb so i can easilly disconnect from my tv usb and take the unit upstairs and use with my 360 in the bedroom... very quick and simple. Again the Ax Pro's would not allow this flexibility at all with mains adaptors and a plethora of cables.

Also the X41 base unit allows you to connect a wired set of headphones also giving them the surround sound. This is possible becasue the processing is done in that unit and sound transmitted in a certain way to give the surround. This is a brilliant addition also not available on other headphones.

OF course everyone has different needs but for me these are perfect and the sound quality is beyond my expectations. I can't recommend them highly enough.

Also, cost has to come into it. I got mine for £111 and that made them much cheaper, with this deal the difference in price is significant.

Oh and for the person who asked why spend this much on wireless when you can get the wired version for £30 clearly hasn't looked into them whatsoever. There is No wired version. These have Dolby Digiatal 7.1 surround sound. There is no wired TB set with that. The £30 pair (i assume you mean the X11) are basically stereo headphones with the added mic funcionality for the 360. They are meant to be very good and get favourable reviews, but it's like comparing a Vauxhall Astra with an Aston Martin.

I love my x41's. I had the X1's before these, and the upgrade to 7.1 and wireless from stereo and wired is fantastic. I paid £114.99 and don't begrudge that at all as they are something I use almost daily. HOT!

Probably best to buy a charger with 4x AAA's to charge 2 while using 2 with these. My batteries probably last for an 8 hour session and I just use a Tesco charger & batteries. They go flat without warning.

The wireless capabillities isn't great through walls at all, but totally adequate (sp) for gaming in front of TV.

Sharkoon x-tactic digital are far better than any of the ones mentioned above in the same price range, failing that the astros are top dog if you fancy spending £180

I have Astro's and they're worth it after spending literally years looking for the right headset. Whilst they're worth it and I use them all the time, I can't say that the headphones and microphone are significantly better than the Turtle Beach sets. What I can say for sure though, is that the wireless Mixamp is absolutely awesome. IF You already have a nice set of Headphones but just want the wireless feature, you could get the Astro Wireless Mixamp, has no hiss, unlike the X41's.
